Bath Repair in Chester

How we handle bath repair in Chester
You can usually use the bath the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Do you need bath repair in Chester?
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
